🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨
We show that Drosophila immune cells orchestrate the response to muscle injury—guiding tracheal remodeling and producing ECM to support repair.

Out now! Tenure track position for a model organism developmental biologist at the zoology department at the university of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Awesome country, awesome city, awesome institute, awesome colleagues.
🥇🇩🇿 Big congratulations Imane Khelif !!! Olympic glory for a golden woman.
May this also be a victory against the bullying of many women athletes from the Global South: "It wasn’t easy to go through at all. It was something that harms human dignity".
Sorry, & thank you 🙏🏽

In case anyone is still on this website, now you can see part of what I've been up to for the past 3 years! We've used deaminases and arrays of gRNAs to mutagenize DNA in vivo and generate variant libraries. More here: https://t.co/IuxnpBG4QH
PhD position in Mechanobiology in Marseille! Are you excited to study how mechanical forces impact the transcription of muscle nuclei as well as muscle metabolism? Join us at our fantastic campus in Marseille. https://t.co/zGdtbTdQTM @Fly_EDS@IBDMmarseille@CNRSbiologie#muscle
